8 Non-Human Beings the Bible Says God Spared And Why

8 Non-Human Beings the Bible Says God Spared And Why Number eight: The Ravens That Fed Elijah. In First Kings, chapter seventeen, verses four through six, God instructs the prophet Elijah to hide at the Kerith Ravine, a remote location east of the Jordan River, and then sends ravens to bring him bread and meat twice a day. Not once. Twice a day, every day, without fail. This detail sounds remarkable enough on its own, but the moment you understand what ravens meant under biblical law, the entire scene becomes something far stranger and far more deliberate than a simple act of divine provision.
